The osc. signal is definitely not properly reaching the HO grid. Test and or replace all suspect parts in the osc, and all parts from it leading to the grid of the HO Tube.
A near 50% positive increase in the HO grid voltage is the main cause of the problem. The HO tube is going to conduct way too much current until it's grid drive signal is made right....I recommend removing the top lead and disconnecting the screen grid (not the control grid) lead from the socket of the H output tube. until you can get the grid voltage back in the ballpark.
